It has been a few weeks since we have published the BlackBerry application ZenMinder that allows you to set multiple alarms and reminder on your BlackBerry. We have developed this application mostly because we were totally unsatisfied with the current implementation of alarms and reminders on the BlackBerry and wanted to have a solution that really solves our problems.

Here are the main reasons for developing ZenMinder and if you have experienced these frustrations by yourself, you should try the free trial of ZenMinder, maybe it will be a solution for you as well.

Setting multiple wake-up calls in the morning

Getting up in the morning is easy for some but a challenge for many. We all know the experience that we cancel an alarm just to wake up a few hours later to realize that we have overslept. With ZenMinder you can easily setup multiple wake-up calls in the morning and you can ensure that you will not oversleep anymore. Currently BlackBerry smartphone only offer one alarm and we didn’t want to rely on just this single one.

Noisy alarm clocks

We hate it to hear noisy alarm clocks in the morning. Seriously, who wants to wake up in the morning to an earth shaking sound that makes you want to do just one thing: turn off this damn alarm. That’s why we have spent hours and hours looking for audible, but still friendly sounds that will wake you up in the morning. Additionally the sounds are perfect to remind you during the day but they don’t let everyone else know that you have set yourself a reminder.

Don’t mess up my calendar

Of course you could try to put all your reminders into your BlackBerry calendar, but do you really want to mess up your calendar with reminders to take your medicine or to flower the plants every third day? We don’t want that and therefore looked for a solution to prevent a cluttered calendar. And this is not just an issue of clutter but also an issue of privacy. If you synchronize your calendar with your calendar at work, all these little reminder are stored at your company’s servers. With ZenMinder they are safely stored on your BlackBerry and just on your BlackBerry.

Following your goals, training new habits

Our lives are so busy these days and there are so many things to remember that we are often only able to react instead of proactively living the lifestyle we would like to life. Our idea was to get reminded every few days about the little things we would like to do but too often forget when our days are too busy. One example is doing regular sports. Everyone has experienced this before: You plan to do sports three times a week but you never get around. And after a week or two you realize that you have totally forgotten about your initial goal. With ZenMinder you can simply set yourself a reminder every other day and get a friendly reminder asking “Did you do sports this week already?”. This will ensure that you keep your goals in mind even when your days are busy and full with other activities.

These are just some of the reasons why we have developed ZenMinder and why we are using it every day.
